Debut winner Alexandra Dreaming is on target for her first attempt at a stakes race at Moonee Valley but trainer Henry Dwyer is likely to delay Group One-placed stablemate Snitty Kitty’s return for a few weeks.

Dwyer is happy with the way Snitty Kitty has come back after spelling in Queensland and he believes she is in for another good preparation.

“This time she’s a similar fitness level (to previous campaigns) but she will be up there eye-balling Nature Strip and those sorts of horses and I’m not convinced that that’s the best way forward for her, having a really hard run first-up when she’s probably not 100 per cent ready to win,” Dwyer said.

“It may flatten her for the rest of the preparation.”

If she doesn’t run on Saturday, Dwyer plans to give Snitty Kitty a trial at Cranbourne on September 17, 11 days before the Moir Stakes.
